My baby is 5 month 2 weeks and since before he was born I’ve been living in a single mom maternity home. I came to the home 20 weeks pregnant and since 25 weeks me and baby dad been tryna see if we can fix what was messed up. Anyways that would be going good, then go bad , then go good , then go bad. At month 3 of baby being born we stopped talking . Everything, so I just been handling and caring for baby on my own while he barely checks up on baby . Fast forward we spoke again and it seem like it was aight , then he met up with me and told me he currently living with his situationship at the moment..,🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴, he said he told me because he didn’t want our foundation to be set up on a lie and he had to tell me this way before it blew up . And now basically he kinda piggy backed off her , and how he don’t really like her but when he was having a tough time “without “ me she kinda filled that void , but supposedly it nothing to what we “have” , and how he really wants to be with me and he knows he “fd” up. He knows since he told me there now may never be a chance between us. He asked me how I feel , and I told him idk , to be honest , how tf is that something to come back from…. Mind you I have his child and he won’t even pick up his phone around her. He has TWO. phones now . One she gave him, and his regular, but he never keep his regular. He said , if I’m willing to get a place with him, he’ll drop the situation right away, but to be honest wtf does that make me ? (Please answer) i need the BRUTAL truth . At first yesterday i said f the whole situation, but now today i feel myself upset about it cause how could you. I’m taking care of our child every night in and day while you just living life having a ball ? Quite honestly if my child was hurt rn, he wouldn’t even know until he checks his phone . Am I wrong or bitter for just cutting him out the picture completely? How do I handle this. ? Idk what to feel and have no one to talk to about this. Please

Cut.off. Completely… he’s got another girl just so he’s not lonely he doesn’t care he just doesn’t want to be alone. Honestly save yourself the bullshit and cut him off it doesn’t sound like a healthy situation to be in especially after having a baby and it’s not good for the baby either.

Damn I feel for you boo.. sounds like u and baby are safe where u at tho.. I feel like he probably is just using her for a place to stay but does she know about you and baby? Do u still love him and can see yourself with him? How is he around baby when he does visit? Does he work? Like if he has things lined up and going for himself and you’re still in love with him, then pray about it and ask the Lord to guide you. If he gives u the ick… then don’t do it! If she was just a place to stay.. then he shouldn’t have any issue with checking his other phone and checking on yall regularly.. if he can’t do that.. then perhaps he is trying to save her feelings.. when u and baby should come first

No man with a proper head on his shoulders would allow you to live in a single mom maternity home this long, while he does what he does. Honestly if your housing is working for you and keeping you less stressed. Absolutely stay there and find a way to make it on your own or find someone new. He's put himself in a position to where you can have a good start without him and genuinely, you will be fine, and find good love again. Walking into a life with him will most likely not 100% but most likely will be turmoil, bullshit, cheating, absent parent, you'll be a single mom with even more on your plate taking care of a man like that. That absolutely is your child's father but think about what YOU bring to the table because it doesn't seem like he can compete. I think we've all made mistakes we knew we should not have, make sure you hold yourself down ❤️

Imagine your son coming to you and telling you this like he’s doing it to his baby’s mama. How absolutely pissed would you be.

Definitely wouldn’t leave the housing you have now. What happens if you move with him and it doesn’t work? Sucks but you gotta think like that. My sons bio dad did the same shit to me. Fkd me about the whole pregnancy. Left at 2 weeks old (had seen him 2/3 times in that time) and then only “wanted” me. When I cut it all off he would use our son as a way to stay in contact but he’s never cared about him, seen him once at 2yr old never again, doesn’t contribute. He then went and got another gf and had a baby with her (which he stayed about for) Honestly I done so much better on my own.
I now have a home, my boy is 7, I have a wonderful partner and a baby on the way. Prioritise yourself and your baby over everyone and everything, including the dad. Especially if he’s gonna act like that.
Hope you’re doing alright and feel free to message if you ever need a chat x

He gets a place for you and your child to live. He leaves the situationship, he holds down a respectable job, all for one year and then you'll talk. But he needs to show you he's more than just words. If he actually cares about his child. He will do that. If he won't then he's not a good father and DEFINITELY not worth another thought from you.

This man is a mess. You need peace and stability baby, get that this thing out of your hair!
Context I guess is we’ve been having problems since we got together and I guess I’m just not physically into him anymore.

First post in here and I figured I’d finally say hi instead of just scrolling 😂
I’m 36, a mom to a 19, 9 and a 2.5-year-old, all girls!! I work full time, so life is basically always busy.
I’ve also realized I’m 100% a Type C mom 😂 I have good intentions. I make lists. I forget about the lists. Somehow things still get done.
Honestly, I’m just looking for some mom friends. Like REAL friends. Someone to text random things to, grab coffee with, complain about life with, and actually make plans with.
If you’re in the same boat, I’d love to meet you. Because apparently making friends as an adult is weirdly hard. 😂

I think one of the hardest parts about trying to make mom friends on here is that you just don’t know who you’re actually going to vibe with from a profile 😅
I’m super down to earth, go with the flow, homebody/cozy type of person. I don’t need to be doing something all the time. I’m perfectly happy sitting in the house with coffee, talking about random stuff, laughing, letting the kids play, whatever lol. So I feel like I’d struggle trying to build a friendship with someone who is super serious all the time or has a completely different vibe than me.
And then I think being in a similar stage of life matters too. I’m 32, married, and have 4 kids, one with special needs, might I add. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be friends with someone younger or with one baby, but realistically we might just be in two completely different places in life. They might still want to go out and party and I’m over here genuinely excited about my pumpkin spice creamer in the morning 😂
I think I want a friend who just…gets it. Someone I don’t have to explain my whole life to because they understand the season I’m in. And that’s so hard to tell from a profile.
And then sometimes the conversation just…dies 😅 Not even because anything happened, but it starts feeling like one person is carrying it or you realize you just don’t naturally click. I think that’s what makes trying to make friends on apps so awkward.
Does anyone else feel like finding people you actually click with is the hardest part?

Does anybody really want friends?? I’ve been in here forever and I’m just looking for some friends! I’ve moved here a year ago and it’s hard to find and do things in Winston. But it would be nice to have my own best friend!
